This is the weekend we say goodbye to summer, isn’t it? Dislike. Rather than having a relaxing LDW at the lake, we’re making a quick trip up to Long Island tomorrow for a wedding, driving back after the reception, and flying to Louisville on Sunday morning for an engagement party. I know what you’re thinking….

caprese burgers
Enter: my new favorite burger. This is such a simple concept I can’t believe I didn’t think of it sooner. I think these would also be adorable as appetizers at a summer party in slider form. In this case, the four of us ate them for Sunday dinner at like 9PM after playing 9 holes…
kale caesar
Don’t hate me for the most basic of all basic posts. I mean that in both ways, as in “I’m giving you directions for assembling a salad” and also the 2016 vernacular “this is soooo #basic.” I made these a few weeks ago for dinner, with the promise to myself that if I was going…
chicken cordon bleu sandwich
Last weekend, my family came down to visit Baltimore and DC, and then attend a family wedding in Virginia on Sunday. They got to do all the touristy things: the aquarium, the science museum, and an O’s game in Baltimore, and then the DC monuments and Arlington National Cemetery the following day. We stopped by…
eggplant burrata bruschetta
I saw something very offensive in a grocery store in DC a few weeks ago. WHY in the middle of summer is my only option for basil a few old leaves in a plastic container?! I was furious. This is more like it. A+, Wegmans. I was able to work from home in Camillus…
slow scrambled egg sandwich
Today I’m writing from Atlanta! HOT-Lanta! Actually I haven’t been outside yet today and it’s freezing in my hotel room, but it was hot yesterday. I had a somewhat uneventful trip down here, which was a welcome change from my travel experience to Iowa last week. We left Baltimore late, so I missed my connecting…
asparagus soup with sharp cheddar grilled cheese
A few weeks ago I had a minor panic attack that someone was going to climb up the fire escape of my building and into my bedroom. When I relayed this to my friend, he said “No one would break into your building because they would get lost trying to get out.” Perks of living…
eggplant parm salad
The barn wedding was PERFECT. I made 200 cookies, 100 grilled cheese sandwiches, and 1 dress. (Mine, not the wedding dress.) But my contribution was nothing compared to everything that my Aunt Pat and my mom did to pull this thing off. It was beautiful. Who doesn’t love a canoe filled with beverages? Friday night…
whole wheat Greek flatbreads
I talk about a whole lot of nothing in these blog posts. Somehow I failed to mention (almost four months ago) when I found out that I’ll be moving back to the CNY in June to do my fourth year residency at the University of Rochester Medical Center. I think it’s somewhat ironic that I…
lightened up spinach & artichoke dip
I had to laugh yesterday when I saw that Sheila had posted spinach and artichoke dip. Because I, too, had just made one with intent to blog. It reminded me of high school when we would show up wearing matching outfits. And not just on the days when we were wearing swim team or golf…
